Physical metals have traditionally been the best hedge against inflation and the declining dollar. Since we got off the gold standard back in 1971, the Federal Reserve has recklessly been printing money. As more dollars are printed the less purchasing power the U.S. dollar has. As we approach an economic crisis diversifying into physical precious metals will not only protect your portfolio but also give a great rate of return. (Please see chart below)

What kinds of metals can I put into an IRA?

The IRS allows you to put bullion and proof coins that are made of Gold, Silver, Platinum, and Palladium into your precious metals IRA. The bars and coins must have a purity level of .995 for Gold, .999 for Silver, .9995 for Platinum and .9995 for Palladium.
Proof coins are specially minted coins that undergo a different minting process then generic bullion coins. Select dies are implemented in each coin and are manually fed in to the press machine. Proof coins have lower mintages and are deemed more collectible and rare. Investors often opt to put American Eagle Proofs into their IRA because of profit potential of long term appreciation and stability. Bullion coins are closely related to the gold spot market and fluctuate in price due to the fact that they lack any collector value. Proof coins are typically worth more than generic bullion coins and warrant a higher value in the market place.

What is the difference between a transfer and a rollover?

Typically a transfer is when you move an existing self directed IRA into another IRA. A rollover is used when you move funds from a self directed 401k to an IRA.

What are the penalties associated with a metals retirement account?

The same penalties apply to a precious metals IRA as they would with a paper based IRA. If you take distribution before the age of 59.5 there will be a penalty and corresponding taxes due. If you take distribution after the age of 59.5 there will be only taxes due depending on the type of IRA that you have either a Roth or Traditional IRA. Numis Financial is not licensed to give tax advice so therefore you should seek advice from a licensed tax professional.

Why do I need a third party to hold the metals?

The IRS considers personal storage of metals as “distribution” so therefore all penalties and taxes will be occurred if you elect to hold the metals yourself. A third party depository is required to hold your metals by the IRS if you want to keep the account free from early distribution penalties and taxes.

Where are the metals held?
